Most of the text cannot be published in the media, because it is so explicit. However, the only really damaging thing in the text is the part about using drugs. Other than that, he was candid about a good sex life. So what? Nobody had to buy the magazine - and he wasn't getting laid in the oval office while on the taxpayers' payroll.

I doubt anyone will care (or even notice), but he DENIED having ever done ANY drugs of ANY kind in a 1988 interview with Playboy.

California-- home of Cheech and Chong-- will be thoroughly outraged by his use of weed and hash.

That's right; and he was an equal opportunity sex provider, something that all the libs who care about minorities should love. I really do not care what he did as far as this topic goes when he was 29. If he committed murder or rape, then I would care.... This should not hurt him.

Maybe it is damaging, I don't know, but it has been public knowledge for a LONG time and has been acknowledged by Arnold again very recently, and he had the good sense and humor to admit to inhaling.

Look, I suspect that most of that interview was cooked up by some publicity agent and never actually spoken by Arnold himself.

As far as I am concerned the entire episode is farcical and irrelevant.
